[QUOTE="Don Titus, post: 1151474, member: 61851"] Hornady didn't provide any velocity data. It's interesting though, my Lyman book shows 74+ (compressed) @ 2816 for 200 gr. Jacketed HPBT, but Lyman data seems to be generally less conservative than any of the others. Lee's Modern Reloading (2nd edition) shows 72 @2825 for the same bullet; Hornady is 74.1 for the 195 BTHP and 68.9 for the 208 Amax @2700. When I spoke the the Hornady tech to get the load data reported in my previous post, he didn't say anything about compressed loads, but I'd be willing to bet that @ 73.8 it is slightly compressed or very close to it. If I get to 72.5 w/o signs of over pressure, I'll take it one tenth grain at a time and not go beyond 73gr. At 73 I should be able to produce about 2825-2850 which is what I got with the 190 ABLR. After my next series of tests, I will update this thread. Will also shoot some 300 yard groups and if they are up to snuff. Then will try some fine tuning by reducing the jump from .020 down to .010.
